Beneath The Crown: The Queen’s most Heartbreaking year | Netflix

Queen Elizabeth II reflects on her legacy and lineage as Diana dazzles the public in the final weeks of her life and the monarchy faces a reckoning.

While Queen Elizabeth missed her sister and mother, she almost seemed to blossom once she didn't have to be totally regal. For me, it was her spot at the 2012 Olympics, interacting with James Bond and "skydiving" was wonderful and showed her sense of humor.

And now, Us Four meet again in the heaven.
Rest In Peace, King George VI, Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.

It's always the second year in each decade some horrible things happened i feel, 1952 her fathers death, 1992, windsor castle fire, the divorce of nearly off her children, in 2002 Queen Mother and Margaret died, in 2022 she herself died.

[SuzanneJeffersMolina]

Awe so so true. I saw the transformation and marveled at it. She was free. I dearly loved her. No other queen will do.

It's a pity that Peter Morgan reduced the Queen Mother to background characters in the last 2 seasons. In most of her appearances in season 6, she only said irrelevant or tone-deaf things.

She was 10. I don’t think it dawned on her what it really meant until she herself ascended to the throne so young and unexpectedly.

Both girls should have been given a much better education than what they received anyway.
There was an attempt to 'repair things' by giving some extra education to Elizabeth only later.
This was very unwise and short sighted, as Margaret was 'the spare', until Elizabeth had children.
There have been numerous cases in history, of when the 'spare' ended up with the crown.
It happened to Henry the VIII when his brother Arthur died, and to James II when Charles II died with no legitimate heirs. Both Elizabeth I and Mary were 'spares'. So was Richard III, who had not one but two older brothers. And it happened to her father, after his brother abdicated.
The education thing also caused jealousy and resentment between the sisters, which wasn't necessary.

Is beautiful to remember Queen Elizabeth II and her family....

[josho]

God bless the Queen, she did a tremendous service to this country and the commonwealth. She united us under peace and times of hardship. ❤🇬🇧

I am 70 years old Canadian man, Her Majesty the Queen, was until her death the only stunningly beautiful Queen I ever knew. She was a fantastic woman, she was the very best Queen UK could ever have. I do respect and appreciate King Charles III, with Queen Consort Camilla, I have good hope with what the changes the King is doing to modernize the firm that they both have great success. Looking forward to one day seeing King William with Queen Katherine together on the Throne.

[BubblyBrainiac]

Im two minutes in an i am frustrated by the idea that Elizabeth wasnt to be queen before edwards abdication. George V said he hoped nothing came between Albert and Elizabeth getting the crown. She was third in line for the throne.

13:01 This footage cannot be from February, since the deciduous trees have leaves, that they would not have in the winter.

[NSankeerthUrkec]

Yeah saw queen mother was beloved by the most

[hera]

In the show it seem 9/11 played a role in both Margaret’s and Porchey’s death. Porchey had a heart attack watching the news of 9/11, and it seems like Grief was the final straw in Margaret’s demise. 9/11 made everyone sad in every country in the world. Somewhere out there someone was grieving, some still are.

[angloaust]

All families grieve lost ones
Its a fact of life!

[NSankeerthUrkec]

Wow 250 k people for funeral... wow that's something

[tiffanygrever]

I have wondered about Margaret children after her divorce you never really heard much about them.
